Valhalla Supermassive: The Free Reverb That’s Out of This World
Valhalla Supermassive is a free reverb and delay plugin that is famous for enormous, otherworldly spaces, and it is on the hard drive of countless producers. This tutorial from Orpheus Audio Academy walks you through what it does and how to get the most from it, from lush ambient tails to strange, evolving echoes. Why it is a fresh way to get producing: Supermassive is less about realistic rooms and more about turning simple sounds into huge textures. Throw it on a single synth stab, a vocal chop or a hi-hat, crank the feedback and you can create atmospheres, risers and drones that would take hours to synthesise. That makes it brilliant for techno breakdowns, psy intros and ambient DnB. Because it is free, there is no excuse not to install it today and experiment. Try resampling the wet signal and chopping it up, and you have a whole new set of sounds.
